Brother Kali, editor of the Voltaire
News, stopped over at Colby last week
en- route to Oberlin. He ably edits the

great shape. They give him final proofs
now, but they did not yield till Commits
sioner Sparks ordered them. They may
bully-rag awhile, but their wrongs and
oppression must finally end, and with
chsgrin, IS in the above case. They have
completely caved in and acknowledged
they were wroneing the settlers. Give
it to them. brother Kali. Don't give up
